A classified Israeli military database ... indicated that of more than 53,000 deaths recorded in Gaza, named Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters accounted for roughly 17%. That suggests the rest, 83%, were civilians. These are not the statistics of a war fought with precision, this is a war where imprecision is the aim.

Serious and honest question, and I'm not trying to diss on a different discipline: I don't have much experience reading papers in economics. And I saw that paper "AI, Human Cognition and Knowledge Collapse", on a topic that I find very interesting, written by Acemoğlu et al. Now, Acemoğlu is a Nobel prize winner and MIT professor, so I would assume that paper is among the best economics would offer on that subject.

The time to write a script might be more than what it takes to do the task manually (here it would be copying values from a text file to an xml file). But it pays off if you have to repeat the task. Even if that is 7 years later.

I wish I'd thought about this months ago... Have you have had a CLI coding assistant give you code to copy and paste? Well, the stupid formatting the tool has always adds an indent. So I had this method to copy into geany and wrote a script to clean it up. I thought I was so smart.

It's mind boggling how US commentators, media or ordinary people, oversimplify what is happening in Hungary. A blank cheque was written to someone who was extremely secretive during his campaign.

A really fun and well-written graphic novel about crappy college financial aid and a ridiculous softball team of misfits. It's light-hearted but also touching, and has a wonderful cast with lore that's introduced deftly: a great balance of just enough exposition supported by a whole lot of implication and background art details to flesh out 8 supporting characters in a single book.
